Developer Account Privileges

[Matthew Smith]

We have been looking at our environment setup. We initially had
developers as domain administrators and thought of removing
administration privileges. This seems to break the debugging of ASP.Net
applications.

What security settings do others use for developer accounts?

I generally run as a local Admin though others do not necessarily recommend
it (most notably keith
brown -http://www.pluralsight.com/keith/book/html/whatis_anonprivilegeduser.
html). This blog discusses allowing a non-admin users to debug ASP.NET:

Luckily, this issue is fixed in ASP.NET 2.0.
